The core resource in the Pearson Assessment Training Institute (ATI) professional development program in assessment for learning is grounded in the latest research that shows student motivation and learning can improve through the use of student-involved classroom assessment. The second edition of Classroom Assessment for Student Learning (CASL) continues to build on the success of the first edition and presents educators with even more real-world examples from classroom teachers on what assessment for learning looks like in today’s classrooms and within today's state standards. The newly designed layout presents educators with two central concepts: how to create accurate classroom assessments of all types and how to integrate assessment with instruction day to day, with a focus on student involvement. Appropriate for use by individuals and collaborative learning teams, CASL helps teachers and school leaders to plan, lead, and manage classroom assessment.
